THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, December 6, 2019 Page 23 ROOSEVELT PARK | FROM PAGE 10 bial and antifungal agents to kill bacteria and prevent mold. Fields may also need additional chemical treatments once they are installed. They are not cheap. Plantbased infills usually require a shock pad that can add $80,000 or more to installation costs. And because the natural materials degrade, they need to be replenished every couple of years, which can cost about $10,000. Quinnipiac University installed a synthetic turf field with an “environmentally friendly” cork infill only to discover that cork, like other plant-based infills, retains water. Last winter, the field froze and became hard and unplayable. A spring thaw coupled with spring rain flooded the turf, leaving a slippery, unusable mess. The university has since decided to replace the cork with crumb rubber. According to O’Neill, the Roosevelt Park project will now be reviewed by the Conservation Commission, which will also hold a public hearing on the plan. The hope is the commission will approve the project, although some conditions are expected. O’Neill also hopes to send out a request for bids for the work next spring, and to see the actual construction start in June and continue until next winter. Work will restart in the spring of 2021, and the park and the field will be ready for use in the late summer or early fall.
